Fíriel
Fíriel is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth.
Fíriel was the daughter of King Ondoher of Gondor.
Fíriel was wed to Prince Arvedui of Arnor during a time when Arvedui's father Araphant made an alliance with Ondoher, but neither side could send much help to the other as both Kingdoms were under attack: Arnor by Angmar, and Gondor by the Wainriders.
During the Battle of the Camp Ondoher and both his sons Artamir and Faramir were slain, which meant that according to the Law of Númenor Fíriel was now the Ruling Queen.
Arvedui used this as an argument, as well as the argument he was a direct descendant of Isildur, to claim the crown of Gondor, but was refused.
Fíriel remained with her husband in the north, and when Arthedain was destroyed by Angmar she probably fled with her son Aranarth to Lindon.
